   Does anyone know of a fumigation chamber or radiation chamber available
in, or near South Carolina?
 
   I have "inherited" a lot of frames of AFB comb from several beekeepers,
who put it in one corner of my warehouse.  I was planning to have a wax
melting session, but some of the comb looks very good, except for the AFB,
and I've been thinking......
 
   Oh yeah, I've already considered the nuclear waste dump at the Savannah
River Plant. Some of my bees are near there, and they can work nights,
because they have their own neon light.....    ;<)
